From the Back Cover
A carefully detailed guide to iron and tinware used by the Shakers
When today's artisans...wish to reproduce an original piece, they need either the piece itself or an accurate measured drawing of it. As an increased number of potential buyers vie for the original pieces still on the market, the prices rise and the pieces often become prohibitively expensive. Sometimes an original may not be readily available at any price. The artisan must then turn to an indispensable book such as this one, which provides accurate drawings of a number of iron and tin objects of enduring interest.
-From the Foreword by Charles Hartwell
As with their furniture and woodenware, the Shakers used iron and tinware that embodied the virtues of simplicity, precision, and utility. This book contains Ejner Handberg's drawings of important iron and tin pieces found in Shaker collections. First published in 1976, it has long been an indispensable companion to the author's three volumes of Shop Drawings of Shaker Furniture and Woodenware. A new foreword by Charles Hartwell brings the book up to date for today's reader, and Donald Carpentier supplies practical notes for the working blacksmith and tinsmith.
Shop Drawings of Shaker Iron and Tinware includes accurate scale drawings of a wide range of simple and beautiful items employed by the Shakers:
WROUGHT IRON: door latches, candlestick, hinges, pan for glue, foot scrapers, apple corer, handrail, chopper, shovel and tong, scraper, punches
CAST IRON: stoves, mortar and pestle, casters, rainwater lead-off
